The quarters of the Home Army soldiers exhumed from graves near Dubicze

On 15-16.11.2007, commissioned by the Council for the Protection of Remembrance of Struggle and Martyrdom, an expedition from the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń carried out archaeological and exhumation work in the village of Borowe, looking for the remains of Home Army (AK) soldiers killed in May 1944. No remains were found within the fenced-off area; it is likely that a thorough exhumation had been carried out here previously. During a further search, which used clues from older residents of Dubicze, human skeletal remains were found in the area of the road. It was found that at least 7 people had been buried here. An exhumation was carried out and the site was cleaned up. The same team, in search of the remains of AK soldiers killed in August 1944, carried out exhumation work in Poddubicze, where the remains of 3 people were found. They were also exhumed.A solemn funeral ceremony for the remains exhumed in 2007 was held on 4.10.2008 at the parish cemetery in Dubicze. The mass preceding the funeral was presided over by the chancellor of the WP field curia, Rev. Commander Leon Szot. Janusz Skolimowski - ambassador of the Republic of Poland in Vilnius, Leonard Talmont - mayor of the Šalčininkai region, Zdzislaw Palewicz - deputy mayor of the Šalčininkai region, Andrzej Przewoźnik - secretary general of the OPWiM Council, veterans of the Home Army and the Polish Army were present during the funeral ceremony.After the funeral, 9 crosses and a temporary plaque with the inscription were placed in the burial ground: "Here rest the soldiers of the Wileńska Brigade of the Home Army and the Home Army Grouping "Puszcza" fallen in 1944 in the fight for Poland. Compatriots 2008". The permanent furnishing of the cemetery took place in 2013, the work was carried out by the Odra-Niemen Association. In place of the old wooden crosses, 10 new ones made of grey granite were placed and a granite slab with inscriptions in two languages - Polish and Lithuanian - was laid: "To the soldiers of the 6th Independent Wileńska Brigade of the Home Army fallen on May 7, 1944, in battle against the Nazi occupying forces, and to the soldiers of the Puszcza Home Army Group fallen on August 19, 1944, in battle against NKVD units: / Cpl. Władysław Smilgin, pseud. "Sunim" / Cpl. Krzysztof Stecewicz, pseud. "Marian" / Sgt. Czesław Wolny / Sgt. Przemysław Mickiewicz a.k.a. "Karo" / and six others unknown by name. / They gave their lives for the Fatherland. Part of their memory. Compatriots".In the left corner of the cemetery a boulder remains with the previously placed here inscription which reads: "S.P. soldiers of the Home Army faithful to their Homeland and their oath fallen on 19.08.1944 in Poddubicze / Cpl. Krzysztof Stecewicz "Marian" / Przemysław Mickiewicz "Karo" / Cpl. Wladyslaw Smilgin "Sunim" / Czeslaw Wolny".The soldiers commemorated by the inscription in this section also have symbolic graves in Surkonty (now in Belarus).
